Chilean Style Salmon Baked In Oven
As you might know, I'm part Chilean, and grew up between Argentina and Chile. My inspiration for this tasty dish comes from how we cooked it locally. This unique recipe is flavorful, and is a different way to cook salmon than you might be used to. It's really easy to prepare, and with a short list of ingredients that are all you need to give it that feel of a 5-star restaurant dish. I hope you enjoy it!
- 1 Salmon Filet (Chilean)
- 2 Chorizos (Preferred Brand: Goya)
- 1 Tomato (Large)
- 1 teaspoon Adobo Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 Drizzle Olive Oil (Add to preference)
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
Pre-heat oven to 450°F. Place Chilean salmon over aluminum foil on a flat pan. Make sure foil is big enough to wrap over top of the salmon. Drizzle a thin layer of olive oil over the salmon, covering it completely.
Don't drench the salmon in oil. The oil is only to absorb the flavors, and to distribute them into the salmon.Prepare a cup of mozzarella cheese, a tomato, two chorizos, a spoon of Italian seasoning, and a spoon of Adobo.
Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and Adobo onto the salmon. Cut the chorizos into thin slices (about 15-20 slices per chorizo), and slice the tomato (about 7 slices per tomato). Place the chorizo and tomato slices on the salmon, covering it entirely.
Cover the salmon with tin foil, and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes. When the timer is up, take out the salmon, remove the foil, and add mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle over a pinch of Italian seasoning (for presentation). Place in oven for 5 more minutes.
Serve with garlic potato, and green beans (or my favorite, Garlic Parmesan Asparagus). Yum!
Definitely check out the asparagus recipe! It goes really well with this dish.
